Samsung Galaxy Note
The thing which absolutely made me loved this phone is its display, it is just fantastic. I have never seen a display this nice, and I use the Movie/Cinema mode, and for me the colour calibration was more than okay. The display just shines, its awesome. Next thing obviously is the S Pen and the overall integration of it to the apps like S Note etc.
God knows how many times I took down a phone no. or an address when I couldn't find my pen, that was a life saver. Then the call quality and reception, both were very good. And for a phone of 5.7 inches I would say it was compact enough. The audio output was good too. And then there was the IR blaster. And then there was the battery life, which was really good, especially on Lollipop. 4-5 hours or SOT was very much achievable, and this was after I used the phone for almost a year, and it was charged twice a day almost every now and then. Day to day tasks were more than fine, there was slight hiccups here and there, blame TouchWiz for that. But I really liked the 5.0 release of Samsung. The ONLY thing which was a little less-right was the software experience, vanilla android is still better.
This was probably my 33rd or 34th phone, and I can firmly say this is the best phone I have ever used. I enjoyed this phone for a good 14 month period, and I wished to use it even more, but I somehow messed it up, and the phone doesn't boot any more. So keenly looking to get the Note 4 now.
Thank you Samsung for making a good product, and having SD card and removable battery, and IR blaster, wake up and bring back those features back for latest flagships
